Roadside assistance
My experience with mb roadside assistance was nothing more than hell. I own a new Mercedes Benz c class with 11000 miles on the clock and live in Scotland. On the 23 of December my 4 daughters and I traveled to see my elderly aunt to drop off her Christmas presents. On the way home for some reason my front tyre blew out and I had to pull over on the A92 road unfortunately the only bit of the road to pull up was a bus stop . I was 17 miles from home so I phoned my husband to see if he could help me and he came out with his work van and looked at the tyre which could not be repaired. So we decided to phone mb roadside assistance. At the start they seemed very helpful and reassured me that they would get me help as soon as possible. I phoned them at 12.00 am and gave them the reg and model of my car at 4 am a guy turned up with a truck and said he would take the car home . But as he tried to load the car onto his truck he damaged my car then he decided that the car was too big for his truck.which I don’t understand because he had the make and model. My husband asked him what is the best solution? . To which he replied we need a bigger truck. So back onto mb roadside for help. It’s now 7.00am and my husband has had to take two of my girls back home because they both have medical issues. Mb have been on the phone promising to get help . They want me to leave my car abandoned at the bus stop and they would pick it up on the 26th or 27th . Now I’m not sure if being stranded at the bus stop was bad enough but I can assure you that I don’t think there would be much left of the car over that period of time.it’s now 9.30 am and my husband has got back to me asking what are mb doing unfortunately because I live in the north of Scotland they’ve decided nothing can be done as they don’t have a truck available to help. Thank god my husband after a lot of trying managed to find someone to get us back at the expense of £195 . So my ordeal was a 12 hour breakdown with people who don’t understand or don’t really care it has been a really terrible experience for both me and my family especially at this time of year.
